The youngest to win Olympic gold was diver marjorie gestring, who, at the age of 13 years and 268 days, won the three meter springboard event at the 1936 Games in Berlin.

In the 1900 Olympics, the Dutch rowing team replaced the coxswain of their coxed pair because they considered him to be too heavy. They replaced him with a young Parisian boy (about 7 to 9 years old) and went on to win the gold medal. However, it is not known which coxswain was given the medal.
